Suspect in Thursday’s High-Speed Chase in Court Friday

Maurice Myers is the man charged with leading law enforcement on a high-speed chase through the Bozeman area on Thursday. Myers was in Gallatin County Court Friday morning charged with:

Felony theft

Assault with a weapon

Felony endangerment

Possession of dangerous drugs

Tampering with evidence

Myers was apparently in possession of a stolen vehicle when officers arrested him in Big Sky. They attempted to stop him in Belgrade before he allegedly led officers on a high-speed chase from Belgrade, down Jackrabbit, and up to Big Sky. He was eventually apprehended on Lone Mountain Road near Big Sky.

His bail has been set at $1 million in Gallatin County Justice Court.

This is not the first time Myers has been involved in a high-speed chase. Court documents say that Myers admitted to attempting to elude officers on numerous occasions while driving at speeds over 120 mph.
